"Alright," Lu Jinnian replied with one word. Moments after, he hung up

Xu Jiamu put his phone away and stood by his car for some time, before eventually pulling the car door open. He got in and drove away.

Lu Jinnian was terribly absent-minded in the afternoon's meeting. Every now and then, his mind drifted off to the love letter. When it came time for him to speak up, he stumbled a few times, his mind blanking out.

The meeting was over by five. Lu Jinnian let his assistant off early, before he went to the office and gave Qiao Anhao a call to report back to her. He then went into the washroom in the office to change into a set of sports clothes. He grabbed his car keys and went downstairs.

They were meant to meet at six, but Lu Jinnian arrived at their meeting point at 5.50 pm.

It was a privately-owned restaurant by the national stadium. The lady boss was really friendly. Though there weren't many customers, the restaurant had returning ones. The only reason Lu Jinnian knew about it was because Xu Jiamu had taken him there.

He parked the car. When he pushed open the door to the restaurant, there wasn't a single customer. The lady boss, who stood at the front desk, immediately put down the calculator, raised her head and shot a dazzling smile at him. "Mr. Lu, you're here? Mr. Xu has already arrived. He's been waiting for you at your favorite table."

Lu Jinnian gave a nod.

The lady boss walked around the front desk and escorted him inside, saying, "Mr. Lu, you haven't come to eat here for quite some time now, yet Mr. Xu comes often. But every time he comes, he comes alone. I even asked him why you're not here, but he always just repeats you're busy."

Lu Jinnian let out an "En", as his eyes fell to where Xu Jiamu was sitting. He must of waited for a while, considering that there were two empty bottles of alcohol in front of him.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Lu has arrived." With the lady boss' words, Lu Jinnian elegantly removed his thick jacket and pulled out the chair in front of Xu Jiamu.
